Les Daniels’ The Black Castle is a tale of a battle between brothers. It takes place in Spain, in 1496, during The Inquisition. Perception is everything. One brother, Sebastian, is seen as evil because he is a vampire, while the other, Diego, is perceived as good because he is a man of God. But the vampire only does what he has to do to in order to survive while the churchman, an Inquisitor, inflicts pain for the power it confers upon him and the pleasure it gives him. Which is the greater evil? And who will win the soul (and body) of Margarita de Mendoza, a beautiful witch. Daniels’ tightly written horror novel was nominated for a World Fantasy Award in 1979. It was the first of five World Fantasy Award nominations he has garnered to date. The Black Castle is the first of five novels about the vampire Don Sebastian de Villanueva. While perhaps moral he is an old school vampire, unlike the romantic kind that dominates so much recent fiction. Necon Ebooks will also be publishing the rest of the series.

Book by Daniels, Les

A Spanish vampire born three centuries ago resurfaces during the French Revolution and, while prowling Paris for his livelihood, falls simultaneously in love with an imprisoned countess and her newly liberated maid

This edition of Yellow Fog, by Les Daniels, is illustrated by Frank Villano. Limited to 800 copies, which are signed by author and artist. This is the frightening adventure of Don Sebastian, the immortal vampire; a dark figure emerging from the shadows of the past to haunt Victorian London. Sebastian, who dwells among the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition and the French Revolution, seeks sanctuary and sustenance in a stable society of gaslight and hansom cab. In Yellow Fog, Les Daniels has turned the traditional Victorian vampire story inside out, revealing both the aspirations of the undead and the depths of degradation that only mortals may achieve. Stephen King has called Daniel's work "dark but human ... rewarding, creepy and fun".

Don Sebastian de Villanueva—the immortal and terrifying vampire hero created by Les Daniels—once again stalks the night after escaping Victorian England and the agonizing memories of how his inescapable vampire nature has once again brought ruin to the woman he truly loved, as recounted in Yellow Fog.
